We use spatial scanning as the SNR achieved from scanning is higher than conventional staring observations. The spatial scans build on the F140W observations performed in HST programs 14020, 16031 and 16439 as well as the F098M observations from programs 16031 and 16439. The observations will be carried out over two identical visits ~3 months apart and the observation structure in each visit is also identical with that executed in programs 16031 and 16439. The proposed data will extend the existing baseine by ~1 year and the short interval between the visits will provide additional sampling for the short-term repeatability analysis. The two spatial scan visits are identical, but executed approximately ~3 months apart. Observations in each visit is executed with the following strategy: The first observation is a simple direct image in F140W. The next 4 exposures are hortizontal spatial scans (length ~13.2") in F140W with sequential dithers of 1 arcsecond, perpendicular to the scan direction (the -Y direction), between exposures, as to match the experiment performed in 14020. The following 10 exposures are performed in the same way, however with dithers of 1.4 arcseconds to further mitigate persistence. There are then 3 exposures taken with F098M, with the same 1.4" dithers in between each exposure. This puts one of the target stars at the bottom of the detector, thereby not allowing any further dithering in the previous direction. Then, a large 17 arcsecond dither is performed in the -X direction (to avoid scanning on the same pixels where the star already landed), and 3 more F098M observations are taken, with subsequent dithers of 1.4" in the +Y direction. We then switch back to F140W and take 5 more observations, with dithers of 3" between exposures, as to ensure persistence is mitigated. Lastly, we take a dark exposure with the same sample sequence (but using 11 reads) as to characterize persistence. 0 false false RESTRICTED STELLAR CLUSTER OPEN CLUSTER This object was generated by the targetselector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database. An advantage of an open cluster is that it is not too dense like a globular, and an open cluster will contain a lot of (photometrically stable) main sequence stars.
